RIT’s School of International Hospitality and Service Innovation was recently recognized as one of the best university tourism programs for its efforts to prepare students for the highly competitive travel and tourism industry. As part of its program, students participate in co-op programs and study abroad opportunities where they meet with general managers, resort directors and human resource professionals. This past January, a group of students traveled to some of the most opulent and prestigious resorts and businesses, including the Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi.
